China plans to rebuild the infrastructure of Zamiba by constructing new roads, schools and hospitals.

As reported by Channel NewsAsia, "Li and his Zambian counterpart Guy Scott signed a $32 million interest-free loan and a grant of similar value for economic and technical aid. Zambia will use the funds to improve its water reticulation system in rural areas, upgrade the country's only international airport in Lusaka and improve education facilities, among a raft of other projects."
